It would be really hard to run an A/B test of any meaning since the value asked and the data would both vary; to do a true A/B test there may only be one variable, the populous must be very similar, etc.
- matt4077 10y agoThe "data" (the unknown variables) always varies. That's why you need n >> 1 in A/B tests. And you are only testing one variable: the asking price.
- brianwawok 10y agoCorrect. Running a e-commerce store each buyer buys different items. You need a big n.
- saycheese 10y agoWhat is a "big n" mean? (Ask since I'm used to running valid A/B test on groups in the 1000s.)
- saycheese 10y agoThanks, though what does "n >> 1" mean? (Ask since to me it reads as gibberish and there's no way to Google it myself.)
- Karunamon 10y agoYou need more than one person to A/B test against, so n in this point is sample size.
- thmorton 10y agoUsually this notation ("x >> y") means "x much larger than y," so you need way more than 1 person to A/B test.
- saycheese 10y agoThanks. Normally need more few thousand to do a valid A/B test; meaning to me the comment makes no sense.
